No, there`s a lot that he`s doing well, and a lot that I`m very grateful for. But when we have the power as he does now, as Democratic and Republican presidents alike have had, and don`t use it to fix something that is so badly broken...
The reason we are seeing record energy across Texas is definitely not because of me or my party, it has to do not only what the Dobbs decision, but Greg Abbott signing the most extreme abortion ban in the United States of America, into…
I asked some of these parents whether their kids were starting the first day of school (INAUDIBLE) children of Uvalde. Some told me that they were home schooling their kids, that they could not go back into the public schools given the…
For 15 weeks, those parents have waited for answers, for justice, for accountability, and for action.
Lawrence, my three kids who are sophomore, freshman, sixth grade in El Paso, they know that nothing has been done in the 15 weeks and one day since that massacre happened in Uvalde.
It is going to continue to happen unless we have change. And those families, those parents, are leading the fight to change. And when we win it`s going to be because of them.
When we win we are going to prioritize the lives of those kids in the classrooms that the people of Uvalde -- we`re going to get justice and we`re going to get change to prevent massacres like this from happening going forward.
This state, under Greg Abbott, has moved so far away from everything that matters to all of us that there is going to be a price to pay. And we`re going to see that in him being defeated in this election in November.
When we beat him on the night of November 8th, we set a far different, better, brighter course not just for Texas, but given this state’s outsized influence on American politics, we’ll do it for the United States of America, as well.
This total abortion ban, without exception for rape or incest -- one of the most extreme laws in this country, is not a reflection of who we are in the state of Texas.
We need to understand how five of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history in just the last five years on Greg Abbott’s watch.
It sure looks like a cover up from the governor who has you know, Greg Abbott, the day after that shooting, said to the families it could have been worse, right --
I don`t think we get these results, like a total ban on abortion, with no exception for rape or incest, that Greg Abbott signed into law, I don`t think you get the attacks on public school educators, who are so grossly underpaid and under…
I believe this one to the people of Florida. I knew Governor DeSantis really at a distance we were both elected to Congress in the same year 2012 didn't really see much of each other on the floor of the House and just been watching him now…
I'd love for the Department of Justice to come in ride to the rescue, or for the House and the Senate to pass Federal Voting rights protections to shore up the Voting Rights Act.
In March of this year, 13% of the mail-in ballots cast in Texas, were rejected.
This is our moment of truth, you know, 246 years into this experiment that defies the rule of human history is totally exceptional might as Lincoln warned us perish from this earth the last great hope, unless we fight to get it back.
I know it is and it probably wasn't on anyone's list going into Kansas right, where you saw near presidential election turnout levels for a referendum in the middle of the summer, a 60-40 victory for reproductive freedom in that state.
Thirteen weeks and counting, we've seen nothing from Greg Abbott. This is clear to all of us in Texas. We need change.
Those families who I'm in constant contact with want answers. They want justice and they also want action so that no other family has to experience the grief and the loss that they're living through right now.
As you know, Anderson, we have a total ban on abortion beginning at conception, with no exception for rape or incest, that goes into effect this week in a state that has the highest level of maternal mortality in the country three times as…
